Anybody ever bought a type II brace off ebay?
ebay brace

Pretty inexpensive but are they solid or hollow? The Tanabe brace is hollow but it has two small supports inside of it.

 

i say hollow, and go for it

 

i was looking at them too. if you get it take so pics i want to see.

 

i'm considering the megan i'm not a big fan of most of their stuff but the brace might be ok and isn't too bad on price.

 

Oh, it's a Megan? Thanks, I wasn't sure who the manufacturer was so I couldn't do any research.

 

there are mulitple braces there is a blue one i've seen that i'm pretty sure is megan.

 

hmmm typeII sounds like the cusco style.

i personally got a cusco typeII one off of jscspeed.com . it's blue and glorious. haha. i love it.

version 2 is the updated one they sell now. which obviously has more mounting points.

 

But does it work? Has anybody put it on and with what results??

i have the cusco lower arm bar, and yes it does work, aside from what people say, lower arm bars do help with steering and mild handling on the xB. Def quickened up my steering and odffered handling improvements, i say go for it

 

yeah uhh ... the picture above for the cusco braces are actually not for the xB, those are just some representations from another car's setup.

check out my old write-up on the cusco type II frame brace here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...093&highlight=

i love it. the sparkling blue is awesome.

 

FYI Greddy has Front and Rear Lower Arm Braces available with very reasonable prices (you can get both and still pay less than a Tanabe front brace). I'll be getting these very,very soon.

 

the greddy ones look nice and are cheap too, i might have to look into those.

 

who all sells the greddy rear strut brace?

 

yea i would like to get a set of the greddy braces also. i saw them on a site for a great price but i cant find it anymore!!

 

You can check Evasive Motorsports...That's where I'll be getting mine.

 

the megan bar is amazing. just make sure you grind down the mounting cups so you don;t get stuck on a speed bump. if you are stock height this is an unneeded step. but i ground teh shat out of mine and still scrape. cons of riding low.

 

megan makes a brace for the xB?
where can i find it?

 

I have the GT spec front chassis brace and TRD rear frame brace and the combination of both makes for incredible handling. My car corners like a housefly, that also has partially to do with the strut bar and rear sway bar, but its the combination of parts that really helps to stiffen out the chassis. I say get the quality name brand, the big companies do the correct R&D so i would go with something that is tried and tested, not copied.

 

^^where did you get your rear frame brace, I am looking at the GReddy, and already have the cucso front
